NAVAL BASE SAN DIEGO – Capt. Brian C. Bungay, commanding officer, Naval Base San Diego (NBSD), signs the Spiritual Readiness Proclamation at NBSD headquarters, Jan. 14, 2026. Spiritual readiness is a key component of a warfighter’s resilience and overall well-being, enabling service members and their families to draw strength from their personal beliefs, values, and sense of purpose. The Chaplain Corps is dedicated to supporting the spiritual needs of all our personnel, fostering a community of respect and mutual support. Established in 1922, NBSD is the largest West coast naval installation and principal homeport of the Pacific Fleet, supporting more than 60 combatant and auxiliary surface ships and more than 250 shore commands.
